Tightwad Tuesday

Before you buy anything online, don't forget to check out RetailMeNot.com. It's a site that compiles coupon codes and promo codes for almost every retail site out there. When you get to a checkout page online that says "Have a coupon code? Enter it here" and you think "Man, I wish I had a coupon", Retail Me Not can usually help. It might just be 10% off or free shipping, but it makes you feel good about your purchase because you saved a little bit of money.

Using Retail Me Not, I've saved money on everything from bridal shower invitations to picture prints to custom postage stamps. If you can't find what you're looking for on Retail Me Not, you can sometimes find coupon codes on other sites through a regular Google search.

One bummer about Retail Me Not -- it seems that more and more companies are catching on and requesting that codes for their site be taken down, i.e. Target and J Crew. But even then, Target for example provides their widely advertised "featured discounts" so you might still find something useful.

Happy online shopping!
